But for Nehalem and Westmere event 0x3c umask 0x01 is referred to as
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_P (Tables A-2 and A-4),

Fixed Counter 2 is referred to as CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF (Table A-7).

For Core2 and Atom (Table A-8, A-9) it is called CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.BUS,
for these entries there is talk about a fixed ratio.
